I was posed with a great question tonight:

when one creates something, does this created thing belong to its creator?  or upon creation does it suddenly belong to the human race?  the reason i ask is because a few years ago, i was drawing during class, as i always did, and suddenly didn't like what i was drawing.  so i scribbled it out.  the person next to me was shocked that i'd do such a thing and chastized me for destroying something that he thought was beautiful.  ever since then, i've had a hard time letting go of things that have any creation value whatsoever.
